Projected GDP loss due to climate change in African countries 2050-2100
Under current climate policies, Sudan would face a GDP loss of 32 percent by 2050 and a shrinkage of over 80 percent by 2100 due to climate change. According to the source's estimates, this would be the most significant loss among all assessed countries in Africa. Even in a scenario of limiting temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the damage to Sudan's economy would stand at a GDP reduction of 22 percent by 2050 and 51 percent by 2100. Eight out of 10 countries estimated to record the largest GDP reduction because of climate change globally were located in Africa. The estimates did not consider potential adaptation measures to alleviate the economic loss.
